| 1394901 | 2015-02-23 05:54:00 | For two days now the Broadband Speed test through Spark & Vodafone have been about 3.56 Mbps down, in both Auckland and Wellington. All other servers average 17 Mbps. Why should this be? My ISP server is in Wellington, I am in Auckland. Does the ISP location make any difference? |

| 1394909 | 2015-02-26 07:55:00 | It's not *bad* but it could be better? Today I ran "Auslogics Boost Speed 7" program. The down speed is now 20 Mbps, just under the line speed. Latency is also down. This is on WiFi so could be even faster plugged in. |
